Egalitarian Management

An Egalitarian Manager is one who is rooted in the belief that every individual in the organization (from the executive to the custodian) has a vital role to play in its success.

He believes in creating an environment of mutual respect. He’s actively involved in all forms of communication. Rather than relying solely on the traditional cascade method, he ensures processes for continually staying in touch with all levels of the organization are instituted throughout.

He knows that it takes more than the “initiative of the month” to generate strong growth and gain employee loyalty. It requires a holistic approach and one that is inclusive in nature.

An Egalitarian Manager knows that it takes all seven elements of engagement for the team to sustain momentum. This means having everyone (without exception)…
